Type specimen no. 2328, collected on Mt. Hamilton, Santa Clara County, 
California, April tgoo. 
It was in fine flower and fruit, and grew in dry gravelly soil on a steep slope 
a few hundred yards below the observatory. Since then I have failed to find 
it either in this same place or elsewhere. 
EUNANUS ANDROSACEUS Curran. 
This southern species was originally discovered at Tehachapi, California. 
From the middle western part of the state it is only known at Ben Lomond, Santa 
Cruz County, where fruiting specimens were collected by Mrs. K. Brandegee in 
April 1890. In July 1903 the writer found excellent flowering specimens in the 
same locality, which were distributed under no. 4519. It is evidently rare and 
prefers hot and dry gravelly soil of the chaparral formation. The plants were 
from 1 to ro%™ high, with single or branched stems, glandularly pubescent or the
